We just got this compressor. It is called a Holman Trailair. Our plan is to clean it up and get it running.
Could someone tell me the engine number details ie what year. Do you think it is the original engine for it? Any other info on this would be great.

Looks like that ID tag on the fan housing should give some info. I've never seen an engine number like the stamped one before.
